Hey guys i havent really been around for awhile and thats because I moved my entire life to WA state. Thought I would pop in and say hi and share some pictures of some of the views this place has the offer. It was a big culture shock coming out here, there are thousands of miles of legal 4 wheeling and dirtbike/atv trails. Its an awsome feeling to be able to drive 25mins and wheel all day for free and legally!!! I highly recommend it to anyone. I was planning on moving out here a while ago and the wife and I finally set a date. I got really lucky and got hired by Boeing as a CNC Machine mechanic so besides my commute to work being a little on the long side I dont have much to complain about.
I flew my wife and out daughter out on a plane and my and my father drove my truck with my trailer in tow. We averaged about 750 miles a day, stopped every night at a nice hotel with a pool and hot tub and it still only took us 4 days.
Local towing company picking up my jeep for the shipping company (Boeing shipped my jeep and most of our stuff out)
7am the morning I left, I was still just about able to fill the floor of the trailer with last minute shit..
Towing the trailer i averaged about 8-9.5 mpg, knowing this was going to be the case I built an aux tank that bolts the the bottom of the tool box in the bed. It uses a 12v solenoid valve and gravity feeds into the filler of the main tank it holds about 32 gallons, and it came in handy a few times!
We saw alot of this..corn..corn.........CORN..the country is boring as shit until you get past South Dakota.
Leaving sturgis South Dakota, you can just see the hills starting to pop up, they just get bigger from there.
fueling up somwhere in Montana
I had about a week before I started at Boeing so me and Sarah didnt waste any time getting out and enjoying the forest. This is mt Rainer national park about 2 hours away.
My inlaws also have property in capital forest and while there arent any 4-wheeling trails in capital there are hundreds of miles of logging roads to explore.
Out in Evans Creek ORV, I had our daughter with is so we only hit some green trails but we really went out for the views anyways.
Trail looks super easy..and it was..but right through the trees on the rights you are pretty much riding along a cliff side to it really adds to the pucker factor.
Stopped in a clearing at a trail intersection.
Did a dirt bike ride with my father in law in the Gifford state forest. View of Mt Hood in Oregon where we stopped for lunch.
Rock outcrop also at our lunch stop.
Stopping for a break in a meadow. I was riding my father in laws old WR250 (he since has bought a new BMW 450)..Its not my CR250 race bike but I was impressed.
Alex from Master Pull turned me on to PNWjeep and the weekend after I got there attended their huge meet and greet..what an event. Did some wheeling and won a ton of stuff from their raffle. Pic of our campsite
Lastly a pic of Aurora Sunday morning waking up at the meet and greet, it was about 45 degrees in the morning so I rigged my alpacka hat for her and bundled her up. Well I hope you guys enjoyed my shitty cell phone pics..Maybe ill buy a real camera someday...haha
